There are a lot of goodies tucked into a wing. Several of them are very expensive. Strobe light combinations are one of them. Another are the fuel probes. They must be of an exact length and satisfy the type, capacitance or resistor for plumbing to the gauge. There is also the wiring that goes with each and of course the wiring for the trim tab unit in the aileron. Wait, not done yet - if you intend to use an angle of attack gauge that too will need to be customized into the wing. A few of them work off of the pitot tube or an external weather vane which reduces installation headaches. More on this stuff later after I permanently attach the wings and run the infrastructural items through the cabin. Fortunately with the Legacy all lighting can be satisfied with one unit mounted on each wingtip. This is the path I've chosen and is probably the most common.
